Ski your way through the pristine beauty of the French Alps, savor the cuisine of Michelin-starred restaurants as well as the more authentic flavors at family-owned lodges, and immerse yourself in the local tradition of music and dance, as Chair Alex Roudi and Katia Cowling pull out all the stops for the quintessential winter wonderland escape.
Surrounded by the French Alps, breathe in the crisp winter air as you strap on your skis and prepare to explore all Les Trois Vallées has to offer—four regions and eight resorts linked to create the largest and most comprehensively equipped skiing area in the world.
As stunning as Courchevel is on the ground, your view from the lifts brings the experience to the next level. Nestled in the majesty of the French Alps, Courchevel is surrounded by lush spruce forests dusted with snow and is one of six exclusive villages that dot the mountainside.
You will be staying at the Hôtel Barrière les Neiges, a chalet-style palace boasting two superb restaurants and a full-service spa. Situated in Courchevel 1850 at the base of the Bellecôte run, the hotel is ideally located to get you out on the slopes in short order.
No equipment? No problem. The hotel shops will help you find the perfect fit. When you are ready to go, step into your skis and take off for the slopes. At the end of the day, ski back into the hotel, and hotel staff will secure your equipment for you until tomorrow.
Whether you are an expert skier or a beginner, Courchevel has you covered. With almost 100 unique trails to choose from (from green to black and everything in-between), as well as the option to go off-piste for the most advanced skiers, there will always be more to see and explore.
Courchevel boasts some of the most experienced and well-trained ski guides and instructors in the world, including Manu Gaidet, three time freeride world champion. These world class instructors will have you ready for the slopes, whether you are new to skiing or just need a refresher.
When you arrive in Courchevel, you will join a group of skiers at your own level of expertise, and along with your guide, will take the trails together. At lunchtime, regroup with the rest of your CEO peers for incredible dining at the restaurant of the day.
The resort’s ski lift system is extensive, connecting skiers not only to locations within Courchevel, but to other resorts in the Les Trois Vallées—Méribel, Brides-les-Bains, and Le Menuires. With 183 ski lifts in operation, you'll find new areas to explore every day.
After a day on the slopes, rendezvous with the rest of the CEO members for a late lunch. Will it be Michelin-star dining, international cuisine, or authentic local fare today? Indulge in the flavor-rich experiences of restaurants such as La Cave des Creux, Kinugawa, Bagatelle, and more.
Horse-drawn carriages offer an authentic and intimate journey through nature as they convey you to lunch in Méribel? Take a detour through the streets and absorb the region’s cultural heritage before heading back out to the slopes.
Courchevel has more to offer than skiing. Step into one of the exciting nighttime hot spots where you can dance the night away. Take a leisurely exploration of the shopping experiences in the six villages or take to the spa for a massage.
Take to the air and experience Courchevel from a new perspective. Book a helicopter ride or take in the view from a hot air balloon instead. Embrace the skies and see the Alpine resort from above with opportunities for hang-gliding, paragliding, and even sky diving.
Bundle up and climb aboard a snowmobile to zoom through the snow under the stars in the night sky. Your destination? A rustic yurt where you’ll enjoy an unforgettable evening getaway.
